I've just been down to the cash and carry to stock up on some sweeties before Christmas. According to the nice cash and carry man Barett's Milk teeth are now discontinued. You know the ones, they're harder than noraml gums and look kinf of floury sometimes. In my day there were 2p and you can still get them in pick and mix some places. Anyway, they are no more. If you see any around stock up because the sock will run out soon.

I'm going to have a good look around t'internet now to see if an websites have stock left. Any sites I've found them on says they're out of stock. Here's a link to what they look like

booo hiss anyway

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 15-12-2007 10:27pm

damn, they were the best ones

I stopped in to a shop on the way back from portlaoise once and picked up 5 random brown bags of sweets. every one of them had about ten of those teeth in them... ****ing awesome.

TBH, I never knew they were still around. Which is a pity, cos the last few years have been spent having these crappy imitations. Would this have as much support as Wispa?

I thought they were horrible anyway.

That's extremely sad.

My brother usually gets a box in Musgraves.. he's going again on Thursday so hopefully they'll have a few left so we can stock up!

If it's the Musgraves in Sallynoggin then no dice. That's where I was looking for them and they told me they were discontinued. If you're going to aa different one hopefully there'll be a few left!

:eek: i never heard this!! ther is only one filling station round where i live that has them in stock... i was wondering why!!

Nutty · 09-01-2008 5:15pm

they were so nice... they've been so hard to get even over the last few years.. i remember working in a shop a few years back and we didnt deal in penny sweets but found 2 boxes of them in the store room so between 3 of us we scoffed the box

Malteaser! · 09-01-2008 5:32pm

I never understood why people liked them so much, they made me feel ill every time I had them as a kid!!

WindSock · 09-01-2008 9:54pm

Oh but the fun we had, substituting them for our own teeth. Milk teeth, we'll miss you

I know, that was the best thing about them! I'm still sad thinking about their loss!

WindSock · 10-01-2008 1:25am

Now we'll just have to make do with dentures

Toots · 13-01-2008 10:45pm

But you can't eat dentures when you're finished playing. This is a sad day indeed!:(

BigBenRoeth · 17-01-2008 5:06pm

Oh my dear jesus....

Wez · 19-01-2008 4:21pm

Oh noes!! These were the reason I bought penny sweets! This can't be happening!!

I'd love to open an old school penny sweet shop in Dublin, just sell penny sweets & classic bars etc. You'd make a fortune!

I never liked Milk teeth anyway. Cola bottles esp the fizzy ones were always my fave

GhostInTheRuins · 19-01-2008 6:15pm

Didin't the taste exactly like the coloured rats?

pphheerroonn · 20-01-2008 8:15pm

SMM · 20-01-2008 8:41pm
